Friday night's 7 inches of fresh snow had me driving to work Saturday, but all was plowed by yesterday so I rode. I've been locking to the same bike rack outside of the cafe for 9 years now, and only lock up elsewhere when the rack is full (not an issue right now, but it happens in the summer a lot when I work later shifts). This spring the city installed several new, two bicycle racks along the sidewalk that fronts the cafe; and despite the fact that they've been there for almost 8 months, I just yesterday realized that they're a much better place to leave my bike as they're in full view of the entire cafe, where the old rack is around the corner and out of sight. So I've got a new parking spot, but as I left work yesterday I automatically went around the corner to the old rack and had a WTF moment when I didn't see my bike. Old habits die hard, I guess.

10ºF and calm today. Nice ride to school today, might try the MUP heading home; skier reports indicate a solid footpack down the centerline. Weather service says there's a large warm and wet storm streaming up from the tropics, and are forecasting above freezing temps, high winds, and rain over the next four days. Boo.

I'd probably walk. I can do the 2 miles to work in just under 10 minutes in the summer, and that's about the bare minimum that I'd consider worth cycling.
